ALBANY >> The corruption trial of Sheldon Silver enters its third week and Dean Skelos’s trial begins on Monday, but the legal woes of Albany’s two alpha males are so far not making much of an impression on their state government peers who haven’t been indicted.

Advocates for cleaning up the mess in Albany said Friday a letter sent out calling for a special session on ethics was ignored by the leaders of the Senate and Assembly. Aides to Gov. Andrew Cuomo accepted the letter, but that was the extent of his response.

The letter went out two days after a reform group flunked New York in a test for honesty and integrity in government. “Beset by corruption, backroom deals and voter scorn, New York received a score of 61, a D-,” the Center for Public Integrity reported.

“Have we heard anything from the legislative leaders and governor?” Susan Lerner of Common Cause said Friday. “The silence is deafening.”

Despite being ignored, John Kaehny of Reinvent Albany, another reform-minded group, says they are not discouraged. Among other things, they want to put curbs on outside income collected by legislators.

“There is still time and there is still potential bombshells to be dropped in the next week here,” Kaehny said. “We have Skelos’s trial opening and there’s been some heavy hitting evidence in the last day and just today in the Sheldon Silver trial that speaks to the extent of corruption and influence peddling in Albany.”

“So that may change things,” he said. “These two trials are a very big deal and they are generating a ton of publicity and that could change the political landscape.”

Kaehny was blunt when he was quoted in the Center for Public Integrity’s report. “We’re talking about a gold medal-winning corruption performance by New York,” he said. “It’s a pretty bleak moment for public governance.”

Skelos and his son face trial on Monday on charges of bribery and extortion. They are accused of demanding money in exchange for favorable action on legislation and a no-show job. Friday, Skelos again denied any wrongdoing. “In my opinion this is a prosecution that should never have been brought in the first place,” he told reporters outside the courthouse in lower Manhattan.

The week heard stunning testimony in Silver’s trial, with witnesses from the law firms that employed him testifying that he did no legal work while taking home a payday federal prosecutors put at $3.7 million.

The chief financial officer of a New York City real estate firm that paid some of the legal bills said he never saw a letter signed by Silver that guaranteed him a cut of the money. And the partner in a law firm that paid Silver millions said he was never told that Silver was funneling state cash to a doctor who in turn was referring cancer patients to the law firm for lucrative lawsuits.

A spokesman for Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (D-Bronx) had no immediate comment on the letter and the request for a special session.

Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan (R-Suffolk County) told reporters in Albany this week there was no reason for a December session to be held, with the 2016 session set to begin on January 6. In October, Flanagan acknowledged the corruption trials cast the Legislature in a bad light, but he said that legislators overall are honest.

Cuomo likewise ruled out any special session on ethics when asked about it this summer, saying the legislators wouldn’t pass any bills even if the required them to come to Albany. Under the state constitution, the governor can summon the legislature back for a special session for a specific reason, but he cannot force them to pass any bills.

With the corruption trials competing for headlines, Cuomo kept an unusually busy schedule this week, drawing favorable coverage for raising the minimum wage for state workers, building a new rail tunnel in New York City, and turning thumbs down on a controversial plan for a natural gas transfer depot off the coast of Long Island.

He has not been implicated in any of the corruption cases that have been brought against legislators.

But his media events on the minimum wage and other topics remained something of a sideshow to stories about corruption in state government.

“First came the Assembly speaker, the powerful Democrat Sheldon Silver, who in January was dragged by federal authorities to a courthouse, black fedora perched on his head, and charged with exploiting his position by accepting millions in bribes and kickbacks,” The Center for Public Integrity said in its report. “Then, less than four months later, it was the state Senate leader, Republican Dean Skelos, who federal prosecutors charged with bribery, extortion and fraud connected to his role in two companies and a no-show job he secured for his son. Skelos was the fifth straight Senate leader to be charged with corruption.”

“And finally, two months after that, the Senate’s second-ranking Republican, Thomas Libous, was convicted of lying to the FBI about a scheme to use his position to get his son a job.”

Prosecutors said this week they would not seek prison for Libous, since he has terminal cancer that is expected to result in his death in the near future.

Cancer also took the life this week of former Assemblyman and Brooklyn political boss Vito Lopez, who was driven from office in 2013 after he was exposed for sexually harassing young women on his staff. Taxpayer ended up paying his two victims $545,000 following reports that Silver ignored their complaints.
